Abstract: To explore the mental health status and coping style of firefighters after emergency rescue, and analyze the correlation between mental health status and coping style of firefighters. A cluster sampling method was used to evaluate the mental health status of the firefighters in Henan province who were responding to the "7.20" rainstorm by SRQ-20,GAD-7, PHQ-9, SRSS and PTSD-7 scales. CSQ scale assessed the coping style characteristics of firefighters, and explored the correlation between mental health status and coping style. Among 5 332 fire fighters, 19.70% had emotional pain, 32.06% had anxiety symptoms and 38.14% had depression symptoms, 41.06% had sleep disorders, and 991 (20.89%) were suspected positive for post-traumatic stress disorder. The correlation analysis between coping styles and mental health status shows that the mental health level of firefighters with different coping styles is different. When the coping styles are mainly self-blame, fantasy, retreat and rationalization, the mental health level of firefighters is lower; The level of mental health of firefighters is better when solving problems and asking for help are the main coping methods. Firefighters have different degrees of mental health problems after emergency rescue, so it is necessary to cultivate their mental health literacy from time to time, intervene psychological assistance in early rescue, cultivate constructive coping styles, and conduct timely psychological intervention and treatment for high-risk personnel.

Key words: firefighters, mental health status, coping style, psychological assistance
